Ingredients

• 1 tin tomatoes
• Red lentils
• Sachet of tomato paste
• Worcester sauce
• Hot English mustard
• Italian herbs

Equipment

• Tin opener
• Saucepan
• Wooden spoon

Method

Rinse the lentils thoroughly and place in saucepan on a medium heat. Once lentils have started to soften (around 10 mins at a rolling boil) add in the tin of tomatoes, tomato paste, two teaspoons of Worcester sauce, one flat teaspoon of hot English mustard and a heaped teaspoon of Italian herbs. Simmer for 15 mins and turn off heat.

Serve

Serve over pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan.

This sauce improves overnight so I will often make up a batch to do several meals. It works well for lasagne and as a tomato base for pizza.
